The world progresses only through misunderstanding.

I will drop into your chest like a vegetal ambrosia. I will be the grain that regenerates the cruelly plowed furrow. Poetry will be born of our intimate union. A god we shall create together, and we shall soar heavenward like sunbeams, perfumes, butterflies, birds, and all winged things.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

There is no sweeter pleasure ...

There is no sweeter pleasure than to surprise a man by giving him more than he hopes for.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

I am the wound and the knife!...

I am the wound and the knife! I am the slap and the cheek! I am the limbs and the rack, And the victim and the executioner! I am the vampire of my own heart.

There are women who inspire you with the desire to conquer them and to take your pleasure of them; but this one fills you only with the desire to die slowly beneath her gaze.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

It is unfortunately very true that, without leisure and money, love can be no more than an orgy of the common man. Instead of being a sudden impulse full of ardor and reverie, it becomes a distastefully utilitarian affair.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

The more one works, the better one works, and the more one wants to work. The more one produces, the more fertile one grows.

I felt passing over me the wind of the wing of madness.

How many years of fatigue and punishment it takes to learn the simple truth that work, that disagreeable thing, is the only way of not suffering in life, or at all events, of suffering less.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

From his soft fur, golden and...

From his soft fur, golden and brown, Goes out so sweet a scent, one night I might have been embalmed in it By giving him one little pet. He is my household's guardian soul; He judges, he presides, inspires All matters in his royal realm; Might he be fairy? or a god? When my eyes, to this cat I love Drawn as by a magnet's force, Turn tamely back upon that appeal, And when I look within myself, I notice with astonishment The fire of his opal eyes, Clear beacons glowing, living jewels, Taking my measure, steadily.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

That which is not slightly distorted lacks sensible appeal; from which it follows that irregularity – that is to say, the unexpected, surprise and astonishment, are a essential part and characteristic of beauty.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

Beware of all the paradoxical in love. It is simplicity which saves, it is simplicity which brings happiness...Love should be love.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

We love women in proportion to their degree of strangeness to us.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

No task is a long one but the task on which one dare not start. It becomes a nightmare.

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

The devil's finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist.

Strangeness is a necessary ingredient in beauty.

What can an eternity of damnation matter to someone who has felt, if only for a second, the infinity of delight?

Charles Baudelaire 461 quotes

What could be more simple and more complex, more obvious and more profound than a portrait.
